Fabulous course in excellent condition. Played on a Sunday and no issue with slow play, 10 minutes between tee times. Challenging and breathtaking scenery. One of the best courses I’ve played in SA. The bar area and restaurant was also very good and the staff were efficient. The other facilities were first class.
